Ok. Just kidding. But now that I have your attention let me propose an alternative rulership scheme that may make more sense than the current scheme after much thought on this topic. The premise of it is the use of kabbala and the sefirotic tree which goes back thousands of years. On that tree, the energies of neptune, pluto and chiron were posited long before their actual discovery.I know this will sound very foreign to many but have an open mind. Im curious to hear from people with open minds. Not those who are very emotionally invested in their attachments to the current sign rulerships.
Here goes:
pluto - will - *kesser* - foundational point - most essential point of self - beginning of the beginning - aries
neptune - lens of unity - *daas* - internal perspective on everything - the invisible sefira - awareness of all good and suffering - knowledge of unity in duality - the abyss - pisces
uranus - *chochmah* - flash of intuition - inspiration - something from nothing - creativity - ideas in raw form - "male" intellect - aquarius
chiron - understanding - *binah* - completeness - accumulated wisdom - knowledge - guiding - teaching - being of service to a collective - detailed application of knowledge - coming into one's own - concretization - "female" intellect - capricorn
jupiter - expansion - *chesed* - higher love - tolerance - abundance - saggitarius
saturn - constriction - power - *gevurah* - restraint - fear - discipline - control - determination - scorpio
sun - balance of everything - *tiferet* - truth - fairness - righteousness - libra
mars - action - *netzach* - endurance - virgo
venus - beauty - splendor - *hod* - praise -(lower) romantic love - leo
moon - foundation - *yesod* - sensuality - sexuality - emotional needs and security - cancer and taurus
mercury - final outward manifestation *malchut* - speech - communication - gemini
These rulerships follow the order on the tree which is:
Keter (pluto) aries
Daas (neptune) pisces
Chochmah (uranus) aquarius
Binah (chiron) capricorn
Chesed (jupiter) saggatarius
Gevurah (saturn) scorpio
Tiferet(sun) libra
Netzach (mars) virgo
Hod (venus) leo
Yesod (moon) cancer and taurus
Malchut (mercury) gemini
